Jim,

I thought that some of the pictures looked like a bit more than a Cat 1-2.

Glad all is well.  Did the R22 cabin or lazarette fill with rain water?

Hi Folks

We made it OK......still without power, but hopefully restored sOon. Much 
carnage in the Laguna Madre area of South Texas, I'll post some photos soon 
if ya'll are interested.

Le Menagerie rhode it out (pun intended) on a trailer in our driveway with 
no damage as did our bigger boats, Olivia (Westerly Centaur) and El Caribe 
(Pearson 35), both on moorings.....

Dolly was a marginal cat 3 (despite media reports) with some gusts on South 
Padre Island of 148 mph....

We are cleaning up now and hanging together as a community. Thank you all 
for your prayers and concerns.

The power of the wind is awesome....it carries us peacefully to places we 
dream of, but it also sometimes lets us know who's REALLY the boss.

Cheers,

jw
